JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-. April 26.-Ex-
Supreme Judge John W. Henry and
State Auditor Walker had an alteration

was shot once in the right arm and again

Henry of talking about him with view
to injuring him and took strong excep-
tion to the Judges testimony before the
committee. Judge Henry replied that
he had told nothing but the truth, where

phatic language called him a liar. Judge
Henry then struck Walker over the head
with his cane and Walker whipped out
a pistol and fired at him.

Judges left hand. and passed up the
arm, lust under the skin to near the ell
| bow. where il came out. crossed his
breast and lodged in the breast bone.
The wound is severe and may b. a dan
